The bear is a ferocious animal that has a lot of diverse meaning in different cultures. They symbolize strength, endurance, and self reliance among other things. The bear has been a totem for Native Americans for hundreds of years and is also looked up to as a spiritual guides by many shamans. Bears hibernate in the winter symbolizing introspection, and come out in the summer symbolizing rebirth. The bear is the king of the forest. They are omnivors meaning they feed on almost anything, representing balance. They also translate into badass tattoos! (obviously)
